Jaden's playing Football!

Jaden is in 2nd grade and playing on the 3rd Grade Goddard Lions team!

Steve had to coach in order for him to be able to play as a 2nd grader!

 

 

Lined up---ready to be announced at the beginning of the game!

 

This picture makes me smile!

Jaden is looking in the stands instead of on the field! 

 He's probably checking to see where his FANS are!!!

 

Look how little he is in that HUDDLE!!!

 

#7 is ready!!!

Jaden has been playing Tight End on Offense and Outside Linebacker on Defense!

(no, I didn't know this--I just asked Steve!!)

 

Get Em J!

After one game Jaden told me, "I got a tackle and they didn't announce my name" (the announcer's)!  How cute!!  I told him sometimes if there are a bunch of guys in the pile the announcer's can't tell who got the first or actual tackle so they don't announce it! 

 But, he told me HE GOT THE TACKLE!!

 

Jaden's FAN CLUB!!

What a treat to have Hallie, Leah, Annie, and Becky

come to the boys' first football game of the season!  The boys LOVED it!!!



Football Season

Tyler's 2nd year of football

One of my favorite things..... the boys running through the line!!!!

 

 

Tyler loves running through the line of parents and fans!!!

 

 

 

Get EM #7!!!

 

And yes!!  He got the tackle!!!!!

Good job Buddy!!!

 

Such a cute picture!!  Tyler's so happy!!!!

 

THE FANS!!!!  Of course the Grandparents!!

PLUS, Leah and Hallie came to the first game to watch "their boys!!" 

 

 This year Tyler is playing O-Line and Outside Linebacker!  He'd rather RUN THE BALL (Running Back) but Steve says he is needed on "the line" so he can BLOCK!!! 

So, Tyler (and mom) are learning that football is  TEAM SPORT!  Without Tyler  (and the O-line) BLOCKING--there would be NO TOUCHDOWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyler really is AWESOME at his position!!!

 

WOW!  I learn so much...EVERY week!!!

Football is not my strength!  It just looks like a mass of boys running and piling on each other! But, I am slowly figuring it out!!!

 

Is it basketball season yet??!  HA!!!

Dance!!

Paige has tried:  ballet at the YMCA, gymnastics, and cheerleading!

Of course---she likes it ALL!

This year we are going to try "Real Dance"!

 

 

So far, I am quite impressed with the studio and the instruction!

 

AND NOW---I understand why my mom wouldn't let me take Tap, Ballet, ......AND JAZZ!!!  and Piano and basketball and everything else I did!
